Narrow your choices to repparttar

next step. OK, so you have so many choices that repparttar 128986

effect of that can be to make you feel as if your head will explode. Make like a computer and narrow down your decision to repparttar 128987

very next step you have to make. For example if you want to change jobs, repparttar 128988

first step could be to ask 3 –5 people who are in jobs that you are interested in, get that information and then go onto repparttar 128989

next step. What’s repparttar 128990

worst that can happen? This one can be fun…if only to discover what an extraordinarily vivid imagination you have! Take a scenario whereby you choose repparttar 128991

wrong profession. Now write down (and it’s much more effective to write them down and then read them back) all repparttar 128992

things that could go wrong. One client of mine did this and found that she ended up homeless….to realise of course that in reality she would never let things go that far… Go with your gut I am a passionate believer in repparttar 128993

value of intuition. I have seen it again and again with my clients. They have accepted jobs and turned down apparently great jobs on repparttar 128994

basis of their gut instinct and they have been invariably been right. How do you recognise repparttar 128995

voice of your gut (if you pardon repparttar 128996

expression!). First of all, it’s gentle, it’s not urgent or nagging. It tends to be persistent but is more like a gentle tapping than repparttar 128997

voice of fear which tends to be strident and full of false urgency. You could begin by simply asking your intuition for guidance on something and see what happens.

Alexander the Human

Written by Tony Papajohn

Continued from page 1

His great confidence led to megalomania. This was common for leaders of antiquity, but it lapsed into more than public relations.

His erratic behavior undermined his troops’ morale. Despite all repparttar victories, twelve years and 20,000 miles were too much.

As understandable now as then, they wanted to go home.

His fearlessness eventually led to a battle field injury from which he never completely recovered.

Of course, Alexander is perhaps history’s most extreme example of how unbalanced strengths can turn self-destructive.

So take a lesson from Big Al.

If you’re ultra-creative, take some time to get organized.

If you’re ultra-organized, take some time to be creative.

Balance strengths or they will be your downfall.

You will conquer yourself and that’s real greatness.
